Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thomas Starr King: Patriot and Preacher My first acquaintance with Thomas Starr King was when, in the spring of 1861, a youth of seventeen, accompanied by my widowed mother and younger brother, I arrived in San Francisco, by way of the Isthmus of Panama, in search of health and opportunity. Our family physician had warned me to exchange at once the harsh climate of my native city of Boston for the sunshine and out-of-door life of California. I had little or no acquaintance with conditions on the Pacific Coast. My only reliance was on the Providence which had hitherto guided our family destinies, and my earnest purpose and modest capacity for service. Kind friends had provided me with letters of introduction to residents of San Francisco. One of these addressed to the Rev. Thomas Starr King of that city proved to be the golden key which not only opened to me the riches of his opulent and generous nature, but also the door of social, business and religious opportunity. On landing, our little family found a temporary abiding place. The next step was to present our letters of introduction and seek some bread-winning employment.
